I d...Thank you, lady t, for referring to my review. I did not read the book - I'm like the non-practicing Catholic of book readers, these days. But what I saw in the movie made me interested in reading the true narrative - partly from my love of reading, and partly to see hat Flynn and Fincher had done with the story itself.<br /><br />More than any movie in a long time, GG felt like watching a book take place, and I was grateful for that.<br /><br />Unlike you, I never saw the Dragon Tattoo remake because "f you, Hollywood, these movies were made recently and there's no need to recreate them." Though I missed The Social Network, Fincher has stood out as a fine craftsman, and my respect for him only improved with this fresh experience.<br /><br />I don't think any other cast and crew could've done this story so well (F you, AMPAS, for not recognizing his feats), and I think it deserves far more attention than it got.<br /><br />Foxcatcher, on the other hand, was largely off my radar. But your enthusiasm for it makes me want to check it out soon. As such, I will add it to the list of pictures I have to see asap, and I hope to weigh in on it in the next few weeks.<br /><br />You're the best, lady t.Thaddeushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17414047155226211676noreply@blogger.com
